Through questions to knowledge
Individual challenges require flexible approaches
Every problem is unique and cannot be answered with fixed solutions. That is why we rely on a wide variety of methods and flexible approaches that can be adapted to the situation at hand. Our work does not follow a rigid concept, but is dynamic and reacts to the circumstances on site in order to provide sustainable impetus.
Discourse in a pluralistic society
Our society is characterised by different opinions and value systems. The challenge is to bring this diversity into dialogue with one another without calling basic democratic principles into question. This requires openness, empathy and a willingness to engage with other perspectives. Our aim is not only to convey this attitude, but to actively incorporate it into every encounter.
Reflection as the key to change
By placing their own world in relation to other perspectives, participants can break down entrenched thought patterns. This process creates space for new insights and helps to scrutinise rejection of other people's values. This creates connections that may not have been visible before.
Extraction & Inception - our methodological core
Change does not happen through instruction, but through personal realisation. This is why we have developed Extraction & Inception:
- Extraction means that we visualise existing thought patterns and beliefs through targeted questions and impulses. We are often unaware of our own ways of thinking - this process helps to bring them to the surface.
- Inception starts at this point. Instead of imposing new perspectives, we stimulate thought processes through which the participants gain their own insights. In this way, what is learnt does not remain abstract, but becomes individually tangible.
This method gives rise to deeper insights that are not imposed, but emerge from the participants themselves.
Authenticity and eye level
Our team does not see itself as an authoritarian authority, but as equal participants in the discourse. We contribute our own experiences, scrutinise our own perspectives and meet the participants at eye level. This honest exchange creates an atmosphere in which people dare to express genuine thoughts - without fear of judgement.
No way as the way
We use creative and interactive methods from aesthetic practice to break through everyday life and anchor the shared experience in the long term. Forum theatre - a form of theatre pedagogy that brings conflicts to the stage in short role plays in order to analyse and resolve them together with the audience - is particularly noteworthy. Such approaches enable playful insights to be gained that can be transferred to real everyday situations. At the same time, a relaxed atmosphere is created which - in combination with the peer approach - creates a "Braver Space": a protected space in which participants can openly share their views.
By incorporating feedback loops, we promote a continuous process of reflection. These phases help to ensure that the insights gained not only have an impact in the moment, but also in the long term. This creates sustainable learning processes that stimulate personal change beyond the here and now.
We emphasise participation and personal responsibility: participants actively shape their learning process. This strengthens their sense of self-efficacy and encourages them to develop their own solutions. This co-creation leads to a deeper understanding of the topics covered and increases their willingness to apply what they have learnt in their own everyday lives.
All our methods can be used flexibly. Our concept remains deliberately informal - no rigid framework, no generally applicable guideline. Instead, we follow the principle: "No way but the way" - open, individual and determined by no one but yourself.
Innovation through new media & artificial intelligence
Way of X stands for modern, interactive and effective learning. We are one of the first providers in the field of educational work in Germany to specifically integrate artificial intelligence into our formats in order to enrich the exchange in our programmes with real-time facts.
Through the use of new media, we create dynamic and contextualised learning experiences. AI allows us to customise content and incorporate current discourse in real time, promoting deeper reflection and more impactful discussions.
Whether in our interactive workshops or in the training of our Xtractors - we do not use technology to replace human interaction, but to enhance it. This is how we set new standards for learning, reflection and change.
